A lifestyle to die for is on offer here Waterside living at its best

You have made the decision to leave the cold and rain behind and live in Spain

The question is then where to live. For those seeking waterside living Spain offers many options, however whilst many marina port developmentslook attractive and similar the question you need to ask is whether there is a nice community that lives there.

Puerto Banus - Marbella sounds upmarket but for those that live here the location is pure and simply a tourist trap living on a reputation glam glitz reputation that has long been lost. These days its a hen and stag destination a party location surrounded by all the usual problems you would expect from locations such as Magaluf,Kavos and Playa de las Americas Tenerife.

Many other marinas in and around the Costa Del Sol offer much better affordable options for expats looking to live on the waters edge and seeking that better lifestyle. The first thing to establish is whether the community that live there would suit the lifestyle you are looking for. Nothing worst than buying into a marina port community to find that you cannot cope with the surrounding nightlife.

Sotogrande Port and Marina is one of Spains best kept secrets that so far has avoided the tourist trap. The majority of people that buy here live here or are second home owners. In Sotogrande you will find a mix of wealthy expats and well heeled Spanish.

This marina is a small part of this upmarket Spanish estate, one of the largest private gated communities in Europe. Yet surprisingly property here is still affordable. A good example is the marina waterside apartment on the market for sale for 390.000,00 euros

For this price you will buy a 3 bed 3 bath apartment marble floor airconditioning with waterfront balcony terrace not far from beach restaurants and bars. Most bars restaurants are centered around the old Port a few minutes walk away. The property market here in Sotogrande has been picking up but prices are not as high as most expect for such a great location on the western side of the Costa Del Sol.

So if you love the sun the Sea, Golf, Tennis,Sailing, Fishing or even Polo take a trip to Sotogrande and spend a few days or more finding out just what a wonderful place this is

Alternatively you could always consider trying the area before you buy. Waterside apartments rent long term from around 800,00 euros per month having said that they usually go for a little more and the average rental on offer is 1000 pm. Demand is high so make sure that the agent you approach can actually show you the apartment that has caught your eye. Too many agents here never update their website's and people come believing their is a glut of rentals only to be disappointed. Now with strong GBP Sterling many people who work in Gibraltar prefer to rent and live in Sotogrande, Spain .

The luxury apartments of Sotogrande Spain

Sotogrande a beautiful private estate at the entrance to the Mediterranean

The estate is approximately 4 kms wide fronting the Sea and extends inland up a mountain approximately 7kms. A private security gated estate with its own Port and Marina, 2 beach clubs, 2 tennis clubs, 3 hotels,2 equestrian centers, a yacht club and beach on each side. For this article I wanted to concentrate on the 3 residential upmarket apartment developments within Sotogrande.

Whilst there are many apartment urbanizations these three are the ones which offer a more luxurious lifestyle with more spacious living.

Valgrande in Sotogrande Alto (check out the Valgrande community page on Facebook)This community is Possibly my favorite because of its facilities which include an indoor swimming pool and spa, flood lit padel tennis court, a golf practice area. The three free-form community swimming Pool's are stunning and the grounds are manicured to perfection. Many of these apartments enjoy golf course views of San Roque golf or Almenara golf.

The development is walled in with 24/7 manned security and a concierge like administrative office. The apartments themselves are spacious and beautifully fitted, most people love the large balcony terraces. Whilst there are a few 2 bedroom apartments the majority have 3 bedroom 3 bathrooms. For the people that really love space then the 4 bedroom 4 bathroom duplex penthouses are grand living at its best. There are also 4 bedroom 4 bathroom apartments all on one floor with some of the best terrace balconies I have ever come across. The Valgrande apartments are well maintained and well administered and whilst community fees seem high lets reflect on the many facilities that come within that price. The entrance is directly opposite the entrance to world famous Valderrama golf course.

Ribera del Rio apartments This urbanization is just across the Road from Sotogrande's waterway marina. The development fronts the river and across on the opposite bank you will see some pretty impressive riverside villas one belonging to Eddie Jordan of Formula 1 fame. What I like about these apartments is that the grounds are extensive. Beautiful lawns run down to the river edge and in the centre of the lawns a large community swimming Pool hedged in to offer sun bathers some privacy. The apartments themselves are well built. There are two parts to the development.

The smaller apartments 2 or 3 bedrooms are beautifully finished and have great water views. However the apartments in south facing block are larger and offer great living space and the beautiful terrace balconies all have plunge pools. The 4 bedroom apartments are triplex with room on the lower balconies for lounge suites dining tables all can be laid out at a good distance from the pool. Some of the upper balconies have hot tubs superb for star gazing on those hot summer nights. Ribera del Rio is a walled in secure complex in Sotogrande Costa close to Octogano tennis club, almost opposite the yacht club a few minutes riverside walk to the beach so location is wonderful. There is a security gate but the caretaker is there part time and gate is not manned at night.

Polo Gardens This development is built in 2 phases. The apartments directly in front of you as you enter security gate (manned security 24/7) are the larger spacious homes. Minimalistic in design and feel beautiful finishes and very spacious all on one floor with very large patio doors allowing wonderful light to flow into the apartments. Some of the ground floor apartments have walled in gardens and front gardens overlooking Santa Maria Polo with plunge pools.

The quality and finishes here are as good as it gets in Spain. I love the large 4 bedroom apartments on one floor where master suite is huge and love the his and her en-suite bathroom. The downside in this block is that they have built a series of town houses at lower level in front of the block and you look onto the green flat roof of these properties. Space between the various phases of the development is tight. I do like the gymnasium in this development and the sauna steam facility. This property also has a large communal pool and padel tennis court. The development is on Sotogrande Costa and is very popular with Polo lovers due to its proximity to the world famous Santa Maria Polo club.

A lifestyle location abroad where you are more than catered for

For those wanting something very special we have available an apartment where One owner bought 2 of the 3 bedroom apartments off plan and incorporated both to create a very unique 6 bedroom home. The best feature for me of this development is the alfresco aspect with large terrace balconies and undercover areas where owners create stunning outdoor lounge and dining space.

Apartments have a variety of outlooks depending where you are within the developments. Families often go for properties overlooking the beautiful free-form outdoor pool's, golfers may like the views towards San Roque golf resort. In phase one of the complex many have tranquil parkland views.

The development has some wonderful facilities including the indoor heated swimming pool and spa, a gymnasium, steam room, sauna,a padel tennis court and a golf putting area. For those not so keen to get fit you can stroll around the complex, follow the stream through the gardens to the natural pond area or take the external trail and take a leisurely stroll around the entire development.

Valgrande is located in Sotogrande Alto with its entrance directly opposite the Valderrama golf club home of the Ryder Cup 1997.

The developer has no apartments in Valgrande to sell.

The estate is one of Europes largest upmarket private resorts a location where well heeled Spanish live and mix with wealthy expats from all over Europe and the rest of the world.

Why do they come here The area unlike Marbella has not been the subject of mass development. This resort was set out for developing in the early 1960s and this is reflected in the palm tree lined avenues where beautiful homes sit in perfectly manicured landscaped gardens. The estate is surrounded by forest mountain and sea and bisected by the Guardiaro River. Its the same old adage follow the money and you will not go wrong. I enjoy living here because there is a good community and whilst for the out of season holiday maker it can seem very quiet, it is one of those places that you need a local friend guide or good estate agent to establish what goes on here and believe me we have fun with more friends thatn wee can cope with. It can also be a healthier lifestyle for those who live here or enjoy part time second home as the sun is convivial to being outside and for sports and recreational activities. For our family the social life and sporting life is wonderful and the fact that our children live in a very safe friendly environment is a massive plus side. Sotogrande international school

The Hideaways Club An investment and a holiday

In Sotogrande Spain, Tailor Made estate agents

are appointed to promote and sell shares in a property fund that invests in Luxury Villas around the world. This is an investment in freehold property with the advantage that you can stay in anyone of the stunning locations. Those who bought into The Hideaways club 4 years ago have seen the investment rise in value. A share 4 years ago would have cost just over 170,000 pounds. Now to buy a full share costs over 245,000 so profit despite the recession. The portfolio stands at 26 properties and more are added each year.
For those who are interested there is a fully equipped beautiful villa right here in Sotogrande.

We have been promoting this investment to a number of merchant banks who are under pressure to reduce bonus payments so need to find alternative solutions to renumerate high performers. Why not buy into The Hideaways and offer your high performer 6 weeks in luxury villas in stunning locations , or maybe use the villas for high level meetings between directors. For the bank this renumeration to staff can be shown as an assett investment.

This form of investment works well for those who dont want to have the hassle of maintaining a property abroad or who do not like to holiday in the same place. If 6 weeks is not enough you can add additional weeks by buying more weeks.

If you need to sell then the administrators are obliged contractually to sell 1 second hand share for every 2 new shares sold. To date none of the 150 members have asked to sell their share which is a testimonial in itself.
